I'm not ashamed to admit that sometimes I miss PHP.
Over 20 years later, and still nobody's even come _close_ to PHP's ease of deployment.
This tweet brought to you by the 3 programming languages and 5 Docker images I need just to run one app.
Turns out having what I thought was a mild opinion about web app deployment was an invitation for people to yell at me, assume I'm stupid, or sell me thier Next Great Thing.
Ugh.
The thing that boggles my mind is how people just assume no nuance whatsoever. Most replies seem to think that I don't get that there are good reasons things got more complex, or that I don't know there are downsides to yolo editing in production, or etc.
Like, I can miss a thing and also understand why we've moved on. And the new thing can be worse in ways and still worth using.
Are so many people really incapable of understanding nuanced thought? Or is there something about Twitter that affords such binary thinking?
This is what I'm taking about. Who does this, and why?
